Coed, Ages 6-16 Winter is no time to hang out inside. Not when there are so many unique and cool things to experience at this five-day program. We’ll create works of art, build snow sculptures, and learn how to survive in the cold like arctic explorers. Need to warm up? We will head inside to try some tabletop ice hockey, indoor sock skating, and ice magic. Get a chance to try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. No snow? No worries, we’ll make some of our own! Under the guidance of our health care team and professionals, breakout education sessions and discussions in a stress-free environment will be included but separated into two age groups: Ages 6-12: Judgement-free zone where campers can talk about their challenges with diabetes. Ages 13-16: Teen talks will include topics such as college, drugs, sex, and alcohol for those with diabetes. Judgement-free zone where campers can talk about these difficult subjects as well as their own challenges with diabetes.
Coed, Ages 6-16 This camper favorite has returned for a special winter edition! The Generals of the different teams have decided to tie this year’s Color Wars into the Winter Olympics, so this weekend will feature an Olympic twist. Campers will be given their assigned team prior to the program so that they may pack accordingly. On Friday, teams will join together to strategize and create banners and cheers for their teams. Throughout the weekend, teams will battle for Olympic points through various activities, and will also be taking some breaks from the competition to come together to share and learn through our education sessions. On Sunday, all teams will be presented with a special treat to commemorate their performance and solidify them in history during the first Winter Color Wars Weekend!
Calling all families and caregivers! We know diabetes impacts the entire family. Attend as an entire family or send your child with aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, or others who are helping to care for your child in your home or theirs. This weekend will include education geared towards the beginner but also sessions for those more experienced in diabetes management. Hear from other families, staff who have diabetes, and trained professionals who will answer your questions. Optional games and fun for all ages from sports to cookie bake-offs.
Coed, Ages 6-16 You won’t want to miss this Wild West program! Whether teaming up with staff for some Yee Haw shenanigans, panning for gold, a wheelbarrow race, or enjoying some old-fashioned western barbecue, we have wrangled up lots of fun along with some diabetes tips. We reckon y’all will have a hoot of a time!
